The essential principle of relativity demonstrates that ‘there is no universal (flat) time’. This means that each organism or unity is a unique ‘time bubble’ that is at once ‘distinct’ and ’emerging in and as relation and origin’ with all other such bubbles. That means every cell. Every virus.
Every distinct organic ‘originator/recipient/observer/participant’.
This is obvious in the fact that two persons experience two unique ‘life years’, during a single solar revolution. The only way this can be ‘one year’ is if we pretend there is only a single person (and no other organisms) here. Which, while convenient for some kinds of math, is both deceptive and impossible.
Presently, a single ‘year’ on Earth is 7 billion human life-years. A single hour is, in actuality, 800,000 human life-years. In your own body, there are ~380 trillion cells, 90% of which are nonhuman (and contain nonhuman DNA).
‘Time’ for each of these cells is, we may presume, significantly accelerated. So we may imagine that, in an hour, these cells experience what is, at our scale, to be conservative, a day. So, an hour is 380 billion ‘cell-days’ in a single human body. 1 billion days = ~2.74 million years. Multiply by 380, you get… unimaginable (and actual) amounts of ‘time’. And all your animal cells (~40 trillion) have organelles… for whom time is faster still… within them.
Reality is still far and vastly more ‘myriad’ than what we have so far portrayed in figures, because we excluded (on purpose) all the domains or possible relations between each different element and domain of locality or temporality. It is not possible to begin to frame such explosively self-generating quantities in any way that the conscious mind can relate directly with.
Now we hear tell of incredible pivots of ‘huge time’ in many ancient texts. ‘Kalpas’ and such. And yet, presently, on Earth, 1 ‘Kalpa’ is actually approximately 1.25 human years. This is 8.64 billion years of human experience and activity. A full ‘day and night of Brahma’. The meaning of this is incredibly profound. A half-hour of suffering on Earth would be 400,000 years of human experience of suffering. Each action or method we engage in … will produce unimaginable repercussions.
Shocking ‘amounts of time’ are presently taking place on Earth, and only 20 years ago, that same hour was less than 200,000 years of human life activity.
Time in the universe was never flat. For your body? A ‘kalpa’ is a moment. For the Earth? There is a human ‘kalpa’ every 1.25 years.
